I'm considering enlisting in the military. For my gender and age bracket, I must do 45 pushups in two minutes, and 50 situps in two minutes.

Just out of curiousity. What if somebody does like, 42 pushups or something? Will that person be disqualified? Or will the Army overlook one or two pushups/situps?
 
There are more factors besides just push ups. You get awarded points for each section. So you can be a few pounds over in weight but perform very well on the exercises. If you can't do all of the sit ups, you need to make up those points in other areas.
 
You have until the end of basic to pass the PT test. You must meet the minimum for each part, you use extra points from one area to make up for another.
